MCSA Team Race Championship
Hosted by the University of Michigan
May 1-2, 2007
Racing got underway at 10:00 in 8-10 kts of wind and temperatures of 50 degrees. The wind held out of the east at 10-18 kts for the remainder of the day, with temperatures climbing into the mid 60s. The fleet was split into a championship fleet of the top 4 teams, and a consolation fleet. Two championship and one consolation round were sailed, with racing concluding at approximately 3 pm. 3 protests were filed and heard under the expedited protest system, resulting in two penalties.
The championship came down to the final race between Wisconsin and Michigan, with Wisconsin winning to take the 2007 MCSA Team Race Championship. Unfortunately Wisconsin failed to sign their RP forms and was penalized under Procedural Rule 15(a)(ii) and had two wins subtracted from their score, thus Michigan wins the MCSA Team Racing Championship.

ICSA Women's National Championship
Old Dominion University
May 23-25, 2007
The Lady Seahawks from St. Mary’s College won the shortened event. Only 16 of the 18 races in each Division were completed before the wind gave out. St. Mary’s displayed consistency on the water, posting only three double-digit finishes in 32 races sailing in Flying Juniors.
The College of Charleston, last year’s winner, was second with Stanford in third and the Naval Academy fourth.
An outstanding performance by Anna Bargren lead the Wisconsin Badgers to an 11th place finish only a few points behind 10th place Georgetown. Michigan finished in 15th. The improved finishes by MCSA women’s teams was a pleasant surprise to all in the Midwest.

ICSA/APS Team Race National Championship
US Naval Academy
May 27-29
St. Mary’s College won the ICSA/APS Team Racing Championship for the Jack Wood Trophy in 420’s and FJ’s at the US Naval Academy. The 14 teams for the event were seeded into two groups for the first round. The top four teams from each group were moved to the Gold round where two round-robins were sailed to determine the top four teams which would go on to the Final Four. The remaining teams were placed in a Consolation Round. The final standings placed the final four in order followed by the order of the remaining teams from the Gold Round and then the teams in order from the Consolation Round. The results of the Group 1 and 2 races were discarded.
St Mary’s was the team to beat, but both Hobart and Harvard came back from slow starts in the Gold Round to make the Final Four. Yale was the surprise in the Final Four winning two of its three races to finish second over-all.
Both Michigan and Wisconsin did not make the cut and sailed in the Consolation round. Michigan ended up third in the Consolation Round beating Wisconsin which finished in fourth place. Thus Michigan was 11th overall in the final standings with Wisconsin finishing 12th.

ICSA/GILL Coed Dinghy Nationals
US Naval Academy
May 30 - June 1, 2007
UC-Irvine was the leader after the first day, but slipped on the second day when the defending champion the College of Charleston Cougars moved into the lead. At the beginning of the last day Charleston had 168 points with Dartmouth College second with 172 points and UC Irvine third with 184 points. Charleston’s senior skipper Russ O'Reilly and junior crew Megan Riddle had finishes of 2-9-1-2 in the four final races to win A-Division with a 36-point margin over Hobart & William Smith Colleges with 111 points.
There was a protest in the last B Division race brought by Darmouth against Charleston to decide the Championship. Evidence from an on-board camera helped the Jury rule in favor of Charleston which gave the Championship to Charleston.
Wisconsin did well on the first day, but was unable to keep up the pace and slipped back in the standings as the regatta progressed almost edging out South Alabama for 15th. A great deal of progress was made and many lessons were learned.
Notre Dame also did well in the beginning slowly slipped back primarily due to a lack of getting good starts. Mark Teborek should be credited with getting Notre Dame to the Finals and showing the team what they need to do to be a competitor at the national level.

Reminders for a smooth fall season...
Every sailor and coach MUST register for the fall 2007 season. If you are already registered you must indicate eligibility for this season. http://www.collegesailing.org/directory/individual/
You also need to update your Team’s contact info through the ICSA team database. http://www.collegesailing.org/teams.asp
Each Team needs to read and follow the limits on Competition and Practice Seasons in the new Appendix 3 of the Procedural Rules

Any team wishing to advance their membership status must complete and submit the form immediately. The board will be meeting September 9th at Fall Fury and will be processing membership applications then.
The MCSA Executive Board meets twice a semester and all meeting are open meetings which mean any sailor can attend. Exact time and location will be announced soon.
Everyone will have many chances this fall to improve your sailing skills and to build your team. Capitalize on these moments! Let’s have a great fall season and as always feel free to contact me with thoughts, ideas, feedback, or great sailing stories.
